Having sat through Journey to the Center of the Earth, I can't say that the idea of watching Brendan Fraser be tortured on-screen by animals didn't hold some appeal. Unfortuantely, his latest, Furry Vengeace was not a Saw-style torture movie. Instead, it's an environmentally themed children's movie that even kids don't want to see. This movie is so unappealling that even though no new kid's movie has been released since How to Train Your Dragon came out five weeks ago, desperate parents (I saw Space Chimps and Ponyo just to keep my son busy for two hours) are avoiding this one in droves. Made for $35 million, Vengence seems headed for a $6.5 million weekend and a quick trip to the discount video bin. Looks like we'll be seeing the next Mummy movie a little sooner than Fraser would have wanted.
